Monitor has jaundice!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My monitor has suddenly acquired a yellowish cast to it's hue. Sony
GDM-500PS 21" connected to Leadtek A380 5950 Ultra video card with BNC
cables - been working like a charm for about 6 years now.

Flickering between good color balance and yellowish started yesterday
and no amount of re-installing drivers (using Driver Cleaner 3 in
between) has made a difference.

Have adjusted refresh rate, imported color profiles, etc. and am puzzled.

Ideas?

Yves,

Thanks. I think that may have been the problem - disconnected and
reconnected all BNC cables and on video card - problem solved.

I was shuddering to think that I needed to replace this monitor - high
quality, high refresh rate, low dot pitch 21"-22" CRT monitors are still
very expensive.

It is more often a cable problem FIRST! If not the cable then we check
video card /drivers. If still not fixed, then it is the monitor.

I am glad you solved your problem.
